That same discipline has kept him from investing in an all-business-class airline (not enough weekend traffic) or one for the Indian domestic market (too much competition, too many restrictive ownership rules). And it allows him to do things that, on the surface, appear extraordinarily risky. His pledge to devote all the profits from his transportation businesses to fighting global warming, for example, is actually just a decision to channel some of Virgin Group's money, up to $3 billion over a decade, into a wide range of environmental companies, some of them as prosaic as a start...
...Brown’s football team just recently demonstrated that NFL teams don’t take players based solely on their Ivy League performance. In the 2006 draft, the Bears running back, Nick Hartigan, who always kept Harvard-Brown contests close and finished his collegiate career with 2,761 yards, 33 TDs and fifth in the nation in scoring (10.2 points per game), went undrafted...

Each time they took to the stage, they were greeted with a barrage of hand-clapping and foot-stamping. Unlike the Hillel’s projector, which acted up all night, the play ran smoothly and the audience remained...
